Kicking It Off: For the first time since October, the stars of the ARCA
RE/MAX Series will fire their engines for a point's paying event and
officially kick off the 2009 ARCA season at the "World Center of
Racing" for the 46th annual Lucas Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona.

Glad To Be Out Of The Mess: Last week was a very trying week for the
Sheltra Motorsports team. After having full access to their shop on
Monday. Mother Nature roared through Whitesville, Kentucky on Tuesday
knocking out power to the team's shop and limiting their efforts for
the remainder of the week. The damage from the Ice storm kept the team
out of the shop on Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday forcing the team to
spend Thursday and Friday working in the dark making their final
preparations for Daytona. As of Monday, the team did not expect to have
power back to their Western, Kentucky shop until sometime after the Lucas
Oil Slick Mist 200 at Daytona.

Returning To The Beach: Sheltra made his ARCA RE/MAX Series debut at
Daytona International Speedway last year and impressed. After qualifying
mid-pack, Sheltra magnificently missed the "big one" which found
the Sheltra Motorsports team solidly in the top-10. Sheltra unfortunately
wouldn't finish his inaugural Daytona event in the top-10 after a
controversial call from pit road saw Sheltra fall from the lead lap and
settle for a 15th place finish.

Pre-Season Thunder: Sheltra Motorsports participated in pre-season
testing for the ARCA RE/MAX Series at Daytona International Speedway and
December and emerged as a serious candidate for Saturday's event.
Sheltra in his Grace Sheltra owned automobile had the fastest lap overall
during testing after guiding his No. 60 Dodge around the track to a lap
of 48.954 seconds at 183.846 miles per hour. The Whitesville, Kentucky
based team was the lone car in the 48-second bracket during the three
days of testing.

Welcome Back To ARCA RE/MAX Series Racing: After joining the team in
their last restrictor plate race at Talladega Superspeedway, Quality Turf
of Okeechobee, Inc. is returning with the junior year ARCA team as a
major associate marketing partner for Saturday's Super Bowl event.
Quality Turf of Okeechobee, Inc. was along for the ride when Patrick
Sheltra led laps and finished a very stout fifth in the last restrictor
plate event at Talladega Superspeedway last October. Located in the heart
of Okeechobee, Florida, Quality Turf serves their customers with pride
and presence. From landscaping to sod to even irrigation installation,
Quality Turf of Okeechobee, Inc. can meet your every outdoor need for an
affordable price. Quality Turf of Okeechobee, Inc. services the Florida
counties of Okeechobee, St. Lucie, Indian River, Martin and Palm Beach.

Watcha Haulin?: Crew Chief John Hayden has elected to bring back the same
automobile the team finished 15th with in the ARCA 200 at Daytona last
February. It is also the same car that Sheltra bolted to an impressive
fifth in last October's ARCA RE/MAX 250 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Since Talladega, the team has chopped off the Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS
body and converted the former Sprint Cup Series ride to a Dodge Charger.
The piece was originally acquired from Richard Childress Racing (RCR) and
was formerly driven by 2007 Daytona 500 champion Kevin Harvick.

Looking To Keep Impressive Stat Alive: In 21 races on the 2008 ARCA
RE/MAX Series tour, Sheltra Motorsports fielded a car for Patrick Sheltra
that run in the top-10 (at one point or another) for all 21 events. The
team has amassed four top-fives with a runner-up at Toledo Speedway and
the DuQuoin State Fairgrounds, a fourth at Toledo Speedway and a fifth
place effort at Talladega Superspeedway while holding five additional
top-10 finishes. The team's season best qualifying effort came at
Kansas Speedway where Sheltra awarded himself with a career best run of
eighth. Sheltra recorded his career best short track qualifying run of
eighth at Berlin Raceway in July. The team has led three races at Kansas
Speedway, Cayuga Motor Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway for a total
of 17 laps.

Dodge Charger for most of the ARCA RE/MAX Series season. In addition,

Looking Ahead: In addition to a full ARCA RE/MAX Series schedule, Sheltra
Motorsports and driver Patrick Sheltra will also compete in a limited
dirt late model schedule (UMP and WoO) while also continuing to advance
Sheltra's asphalt career by competing in the NASCAR Nationwide
Series.

On Daytona International Speedway: "I'm looking forward to going
back. It's going to be a real competitive race but as a team, I think
we are better prepared this year. I'll have a lot of fans in the
stands and also watching on television, so I hope we can walk away with a
really good run."

On Pre-Season Testing: "It really went better than expected. We made
a big change at the end of the year when we switched to mainly Dodges. We
cut up our good Chevrolet speedway car and turned it into a Charger. We
unloaded in December and both of our Chargers were fast and competitive.
We're hoping we'll unload a little faster this week."

On The Move To Dodge: "We're excited about our move to Dodge
practically full-time. We had some real fast hot rods last year and it
really helped perpetrate the move. We have a great engine program lined
up for the season and we hope to take Dodge to victory lane a bunch this
year."

On Drafting: "It's crazy. It's also a lot of fun too.
It's really hard to explain the draft because it's something you
have to experience for yourself. You really have to trust the people you
draft with. One wrong move and you could be watching the rest of the race
from the garage area. Both of our cars were strong in the draft, so
I'm not apprehensive if we find ourselves in the thick of the
pack."

On The Approaching Season: "We're looking forward to 2009. I
really think this is our year to be in great position to win the ARCA
RE/MAX Series championship. While the championship is the bigger goal, we
want to win races too. We came so close a lot in 2008 but we just never
could seal the deal. We're looking to change that in 2009. I'm
really proud of all my guys on the team. They have spent the off-season
working their tails off to give me better cars than last year. They want
to win the battles this year but they also want to win the war. I
don't plan to let them down."

On Daytona: "We've been waiting to get back to Daytona since our
success at the test. The entire team has been working hard to get the
cars even better since December. I really think we have a good chance to
win the race this weekend, we just need a little luck. The team is more
focused than ever and I'm looking forward to seeing how it will all
unfold."

On The Move To Dodge: "It's no secret that we enjoyed our success
with the Dodge Charger last year. As a team we just felt it was in our
best interest to make the switch for the 2009 season. I don't think
it will take long to see it really was the right move."

On The Approaching Season: "The team continues to improve each and
every year. We've put a lot of empathize that the momentum the team
carried in 2008 will rollover to this year. The run for the championship
isn't going to be easy but we've never gone down without a fight
and we won't this year either. We hope to conquer all the battles
this year and be hoisting the championship trophy at year's end."
